Whitney Houston's performance at Super Bowl XXV 1991 is probably my favorite.

My first thought too.
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The definition of the words we used, carry a meaning of their own...

I don't have the skill to post a video, but the Hendrix guitar version is my favorite performance of the anthem.

Whitney had the voice of an angel. Too bad she was gone so soon.

Chicago Stadium, January 19, 1991, NHL All-Star Game, three days after President George H. W. Bush announced the attacks that began the Persian Gulf war.
The anthem is about America, not the singer. It should be performed with dignity, as written, to a certain tempo, and without superfluous vocalizations or frills. IMO.
My favorite rendition is by the Academy choirs at Super Bowl XXXIV. I could do without the US Army Herald Trumpets, they kind of take away from the singers. But the choirs have it right, as it is supposed to be sung.
When in doubt, mumble

As good as that video is, it still doesn't show the level of intensity or how loud it would get when Wayne sang. You could stand there and shout into the ear of the guy standing next to you and he couldn't hear you. Brings back memories of what Chicago was like before the Communists took it over.

Would have never guessed it but Meat Loaf nails it.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.
